Former NC State quarterback Russell Wilson is taking his arms—and legs—to Wisconsin for another season of football, ESPN reported Monday afternoon.

Wilson was scheduled to make his announcement on ESPN’s College Football Live show at 3:30, but word leaked out to sources at ESPN and it was reported on Twitter.

Wilson joins a Badgers team that is expected to compete for the Big Ten championship and possibly more. He will likely step in and start at quarterback immediately. He is not held to NCAA transfer rules (sitting out a season) because he has graduated from NC State. He has one season of eligibility remaining.

Wilson, who was drafted by the Colorado Rockies and is an infielder for Asheville in the Class-A South Atlantic League, chose Wisconsin over Auburn. His other option was not returning to football and continuing in the Rockies’ organization.

This season, Wilson was hitting .228 with three home runs, 15 RBIs, 15 stolen bases, but had struck out 82 times in 193 at-bats.

At NC State last season, Wilson threw for 3,563 yards with 28 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. He also ran for 435 yards and another nine scores.

He’ll replace Scott Tolzien, who threw for 2,459 yards at Wisconsin last season with 16 TDs and six interceptions. Jon Budmayr, who threw 10 passes last season, was the top returning quarterback for Wisconsin, which finished 11-2 last year with a season-ending loss to TCU in the Rose Bowl.
